I am an elementary school teacher in Western New York, USA. I have taught for 10 years in mainstream and self-contained classrooms. I have made connections (interpersonal and academic) with Autism/ Asperger children. I am willing to assist parents in care (evenings, weekends, holidays, vacations, respites), advice, support, coaching, ect... My credentials and FBI fingerprints are on file with the New York State Higher Education Department. References upon request.

If your offering help i would love to take it! My son got DX with Autism on wed. and at 1st he was dx with bipolar disorder by several different people. He was on abilify and the doc took him off of it and put him on a stimilant drug.

Today he used the computer all day and i promised him he could but as soon as i told him to get off he went crazy. He said he wanted to kill himself and started choking himself and crying. Then he said he wanted to run away as well. He was pitching a big fit over the computer. I am not sure if this is normal for an autistic kid or if the meds are making him flip out?
